Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU and max of 3 courses per term once you done a couple of terms.  At that rate, it would take 8 to 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.  
Terms are 8 weeks long. Typically, you will take 2 classes per term which is full-time. If you transfer in 90 credits, you could complete a degree in around 10-12 months.
